FOX, CBS Announcer Pairings
FOX and CBS have set their announcer duos for the upcoming 2010 NFL season.
There isn’t much of a turnover rate from last season, so if you disappointed last year, expect more of the same this year. The glaring difference is that Dick Enberg, who has taken a job to call games on TV for the San Diego Padres. This will be the first time in 40 years that Enberg has not been announcing NFL games. Ian Eagle, will take Enberg’s number three slot for CBS.
The new additions to the booth this year were both in the NFC West last year. They are Jim Mora Jr. and Kurt Warner. Mora Jr. will join Dick Sotckton and Charles Davis on FOX’s number three team. Kurt Warner will be the color man working with either Chris Meyers or Chris Rose on FOX’s number seven team (meaning he won’t work many games).
With FOX having the Super Bowl this year, that mean the much maligned pair of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be calling Super Bowl XLV in Dallas this February.
The full announcing pairs are listed below:
It’s a absolute tragedy that Gus Johnson is only the number five announcing team on CBS. The guy is one the best in the business and most importantly brings excitement to the game. Watch his call of the thrilling Broncos-Bengals finish in Week 1 last year and tell me that he shouldn’t be higher up on CBS’s pecking order. You can’t.
